I'm feeling a bit goofy today so I was sitting, drinking my morning coffee when a weird thought popped into my head. Do you ever wonder how our medications know exactly where to go and to do what they're supposed to do?? This is a typical work day for the traffic operators in Sherry's stomach.........

John and Steve stumble out of bed, throw on their traffic control duds and stroll into work with their stop signs in hand. The stomach is a unpredictable location to work so they make sure they put on their hard hats because who knows what is going to be thrown at them at any given time!

"It's showtime John! Get ready, here they come!"

Slowly the first dose enters the stomach.

"Ok, Mr. Colazal - you know where to go. Stay to the left, no running and remember...don't let the stuffing fly until it's your time got it?? Oh and this time, don't leave Mrs. Probiotic on her own ok? You know how she gets lost!"

"Whoa! Where do you think you're going Mr. Vitamin?? You can't be just prancing all around here like you own the joint. You're holding up traffic! On you go now, no dallying."

"Well hi there Ms. Prilosec! You're looking awfully beautiful today. Me and John are going to get some lunch in a bit and since you work in the area - how about you join us? Hey John! Stop that Biotin! It's going in the wrong direction!"

"Phew, that was a rough shift. I heard that we are getting a new dose at lunch. So we gotta be on our toes, got it? Oh and btw, who's going to take the night shift? I vote you do it John seeing since you're the new guy. Rerouting Mr. 6mp is a challenge and I think this is what you need to help you with your career. Oh and don't forget, we are meeting near the small intestine for lunch with Ms. Prilosec but before we do that, we have to steer the afternoon crowd first."

Ha ha. I feel like my meds are saying, "Ok, let's all make this girl feel as horrible as we can! John, you're in charge of nausea and vomiting. Remi, you're in charge of severe body aches. You over there, make her all shaky. I guess it's not the meds though, they are trying to work. I guess it's me.... :( Oh well. Thank God they keep coming out with new meds so I can keep switching and it's like a surprise with each one!Adrienne,27

Capt Neuro-Transmittor: "We've captured a bacterial agent in the colon. We believe there may be further agents there possibly harbouring weapons that could potential destroy the body."

President White Cell: This is bad news indeed. This could be a TRIGGER for a body wide invasion. Assemble your killer T cells. I'll talk to the brain.

Lord Brain: "No you cannot attack the colon. Wheres the evidence of a body wide attack. You need more facts before you can trigger an assult on the colon.

President White Cell: "I don't need more facts. I believe there are agents there of potential mass destruction. We need to attack the colon now."

Lord Brain: "You can't do that. You need a manadate."

President White Cell "I don't need any mandate I am all powerful president White Cell!"

Presient White Cell "Are your troups assembled. The we go in tonight and attack. We'll flush that bacteria agents out and rid the body of their destructive capability. "On my mark, release HELL!"

3 months of flaring warfare are followed by a peace conference hosted by Special Ambassador Pred. Asa Col

Pred: "You see there was no bacterial agents present that were gonna destroy the body. Why did you act so silly and why did you go against the body's wishes White Cell. Look at the destruction you've caused to the colon. You've also affected other parts of the body. And pockets of resistance still exist in the eyes and the stomach. The place is a mess.Calm down now. you are going to court marshall. Everybody just clam down and REEEEELLLLAAAAAAXXXXXX. We are gonna have to send in a peace keeping mission for the next few years. I need to call Special Envoy Imuran".1600 mg Asacol + 500mg suppositories as needed
